“To me, Lou stood out. The real deal! Something important to American music and to ALL MUSIC! I miss him and his dog.” - Keith Richards
In honor of Lou Reed’s birthday, Keith Richards has recorded a cover of “I’m Waiting for the Man.” The digital single & music video are out now and featured on the upcoming album The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed, which includes newly recorded covers from Keith Richards, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rufus Wainwright, Lucinda Williams, Maxim Ludwig & Angel Olsen, Rickie Lee Jones, Mary Gauthier, Bobby Rush, Automatic, The Afghan Whigs, and Rosanne Cash. This special collection will be released by Light in the Attic Records and available on Vinyl & CD at fine independent record shops worldwide on Record Store Day (April 20th).
It goes without saying that the legendary Lou Reed was a true rock ’n’ roll pioneer. From The Velvet Underground’s debut in 1967 all the way through the end of his days, Reed sang truth from his heart. He lived life to the limit—and then some. The Power of the Heart is a tribute to Reed’s freedom of expression with covers spanning his groundbreaking years with the Velvets into his majestic solo career. Each track is a glorious extension of the Rock ’n’ Roll Animal’s soul, ever adventurous and avant-garde.

-
Nobody else alive today is more qualified to cover this Lou Reed classic than Keef...for all kinds of reasons. This was a pure joy to watch.
-
I will be 85 in September and I feel like I could live forever. Time is slowing down and I live in the future. Here with Keith and many others.

72 years old and have been a keith Richards/Stones fan since they hit the airwaves, 80 years old and he's still dropping songs like this and sounding ever so good while reminding us why he was put on this Earth. Its raining and trying to snow here on this Friday morning and I hit on this and the sun burst through. What a great way to start the weekend & Happy birthday Lou Reed where ever you are, I still hear you occasionally and smile....😎
-
The most 'Keith Richards' song Lou ever wrote.
-
My favourite Velvet Underground song since more than 50 years. And I think, only Keith is cool enough to make a wonderful cover version. This 80 years old guy is cooler than most of the 20 years old! This cover is outstanding!!!
-
Just when you think Keith Richards can't get any cooler... he goes and does this 😎😎😎
-
I've pretty much given up on social media but I can't leave YouTube alone because some days you find things like this. Absolutely fantastic.
-
Seeing Keith perform this Velvet Underground classic is watching him taking a victory lap over his addiction. He's been away from that life for decades and now he's telling the story about someone else even though he lived it for a long time. This is a triumph for him.

By 2024 we've lost so many Rock Giants and look who's still standing Tall! Keef! Haha! God bless you brother!
-
I’m Wondering and I’m strongly feeling This is the most rock n roll moment of 2024
-
What kind of world are we gonna leave for Keith Richards?
-
Lou Reed would say: Keith, you’re just a gift to the people of this world ✌️greatest cover ever
-
Keith is an inspiration for all seniors that life doesn't have to end at 80 or even the 90's. I am 80, writing my best songs ever and putting those songs to work with Nashville publishers to pitch to major labels. The hardest part is getting the labels to admit to the quality of the new songs and giving them a chance. There is always room for a great song and then watch your audience grow.
-
Go figure - Lou is gone, but Keith remains - the dude abides! 🎵🎸❤
-
What can I say? I love it. The man, coolest dude in rock! He can perform Mary had a little lamb, and it would get two million likes.
-
Wow. The feel of this song totally suits Keith's singing and guitar style. This man is a legend!
-
How the f can this 80 year old man be so cool! And have a singing voice that hasn’t changed in 60 years? LOVE HIM!

I'm just a 16 year old girl, but I'm in love with this 80 year old man.
